How to read this chart

A rank is a position in one registrar's list for one year.
Ranks from different countries are separate scales, so compare shapes, not numbers.
A rise in rank can be a small change in births, especially far down a list.

Keisha appears in 3 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Girls, which has ranked it in 30 years beginning in 1996, and has registered 1,242 births with the name.

Keisha across 3 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Keisha by decade in England and Wales · Girls

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade. Bars are scaled on births a year, which is the figure that compares between decades — a decade the list only partly covers has a smaller total without being a quieter decade. Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

Where Keisha is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Keisha, between 1996 and 2025. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Each mark is a year the registrar recorded the name; the diamond is that registrar's highest position. Gaps can mean a year was not published, not that the name went unused.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#359 in 2006
Northern Ireland	1998–2011	7	#238 in 2004
Republic of Ireland	2000–2014	15	#287 in 2004

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1996 and 2025, ranked in 30 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #238, first reached in 2004.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 118 births, registered in England and Wales in 2006.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1998, and 4 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

Every figure here is counted from the seven official registrars Namewise holds. A position is only ever a place within the list that published it, and a record that thins or stops is a fact about what registrars printed — never about how many children received the name.

How to read this

How often it is registered: Official record; 3 official registrars, 1996–2025.
Meaning: Not established; Not researched yet.
Origin: Not established; Not researched yet.
Pronunciation: Not established; Not recorded yet.

A claim marked not established does not mean the name lacks a meaning or is not widely used — only that Namewise has not sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.

Official popularity data is available for 3 regions, from 1996 to 2025. Highest recorded position: #238 in Northern Ireland in 2004. Source data last verified 2026-07-21.
